S-Guys:
My Canadian 93 (92 spec) is experiencing the battery drain problem.  I expe=
rienced it (would drain the battery overnight) over a year ago and seemed t=
o rectify the problem by pulling the small relay from the main box that con=
trols the rear window driver control (30A - 5th on right side).  However, I=
f I leave the car sitting for over a day it won't start.  I still often hav=
e a clicking noise from the window relay in the drivers footwell (329) when=
 the car is turned off.  In the archives I found a good post from Oct 28/20=
02, [s-cars] battery drain - window/lock servo? , from Graydon Stuckey that=
 nicely explains the problem and the solution, replace the main window/lock=
 module in foam beside the battery with an updated one out of the later car=
s, part number 4A0 862 257J.  As pointed out by Gordon there is detailed in=
fo at http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/elec.html#windowrelayclick with a solut=
ion that  eliminates the window/sunroof closing with the key feature. Has a=
nyone else experienced the problem and come up with an inexpensive solution=
 that keeps everything working?
